Avon’s Skin So Soft Bug Guard ~ Protect Yourself & Little Ones on Outdoor Adventures



Don’t you just hate mosquitoes?  I mean, I hate being bit myself plenty.  But I really, really hate when they bite my poor kids!   Babies and toddlers seem to have particularly ugly reactions to bug bites.  But we often feel even more cautious about putting strong chemical bug repellants on their sensitive skin.

  Avon has taken this to a whole new level with their Skin So Soft Bug Guard line of products, with the motto, “Tough on bugs – not on you”.  I was excited to try them out on my young family.

Avon Skin So Soft Bug Guard ~ So How Did They Work?

I took more time than usual with this review, because I really wanted the opportunity to test these products out, on multiple outdoor occasions, so I could pass along an honest and thorough review to my readers.  (Did I mention how much I hate seeing angry red, swollen bites on kids?)
I had my extended family all try them out, since different people and body chemistrys seem to attract bugs at varying levels. In short, they work absolutely great.  And my family, as well as my extended family, all plan to purchase and use these products going forward.

We tried them out on a forested mesa covered in lakes, known for it’s beauty and almost unbearable mosquitoes in the summertime.  The bugs weren’t as bad that day as they sometimes are, but we could definitely still see them swarming around.  But not a single bite amongst us. But perhaps an even greater test:  I have a friend that has a home right next to a river, and at dusk the mosquitoes are always thick and in full biting mode.  My friend's poor little 1 year old often displays red mosquito bites.  I gave them some of the Bug Guard Plus Picaridin, and they have now been testing it for 3 weeks. My friend reported it works incredibly well.  She can’t believe they can now be in their yard at this time of day and not receive mosquito bites!

 

Bug Guard Motivation … Some Nasty Mosquito Facts

Here are a few facts to equip you in your bug battle, and remind you of why it’s so important to protect your kids – especially from mosquitoes.
According to an article By Debbie Hadley, About.com Guide:
  • Mosquitoes are the deadliest animals on Earth.
    More deaths are associated with mosquitoes than any other animal on the planet. Mosquitoes may carry any number of deadly diseases, including malaria, dengue fever, yellow fever, and encephalitis.
  • Only female mosquitoes bite humans and animals; males feed on flower nectar.
    Female mosquitoes need protein for their eggs, and must take a blood meal in order to reproduce. Since males don’t bear the burden of producing young, they’ll avoid you completely and head for the flowers instead.
  • All mosquitoes require water to breed. Some species can breed in puddles left after a rainstorm.
    Just a few inches of water is all it takes for a female to deposit her eggs. Tiny mosquito larva develop quickly in bird baths, roof gutters, and old tires dumped in vacant lots. If you want to keep mosquitoes under control around your home, you need to be vigilant about dumping any standing water every few days.

 

 Avon Skin So Soft Bug Guard Products ~ Where Can You Find Them?

I can wholeheartedly recommend the entire line of Avon Skin So Soft Bug Guard products.  My favorite was the Bug Guard Plus IR3535® Expedition™ SPF 30 Pump Spray, for how it combined bug repellent with SPF.  But when hiking in shaded, buggy areas … I would prefer and recommend using Bug Guard Plus Picaridin.
